Dear Teachers of Grades 3 – 10,

Due to a change in the way that the ISAs (International Schools’ Assessments) are being conducted, we are now planning to have full ISA testing for Grades 5 and 6 ONLY. These will take place during the mornings of 26th and 27th September, as shown on the calendar. Please note this change from previous years. We plan to do the writing ISAs for Grades 3 and 4, and Grades 7 – 10 in February 2017.

Hello PYP Staff,

One of our new Grade 6 students, Mike Zhang, has a parent-provided one-to-one assistant to support him in transitioning from class to class and few other items relating to a physical disability. His assistant’s name is Xueliang Huang (see attached). An FYI if you see him around campus (he often looks a lot like a student!). Please see Rick or I with questions. Thanks!

Do you like to race?
Do you think you can win?

Come and take part, you know you want to!

g. consider the ethical implications of your actions.

Dear Colleagues,

Our regular Korean and Japanese Language School will begin on Saturday. As in past years, the Language School will be using some of PYP and MYP/DP classrooms. I am attaching a list of the classrooms that will be used. Please let me know if you have any concerns about this. There are strict expectations in place that all NIS facilities are to be treated with respect.
